Help Please! IE???

Hello,
I am a designer and have designed a website for my company using HTML, CSS, and java Script, when i check the website in firefox it looks fine and works fine, however when i check it in Internet Explorer (IE) the Java Script drop down navigation in the home page goes behind the flash slideshow gallery which is using SWF, and flash player to play the gallery, i know i can create a seperate CSS page for IE in order to solve the browser compatibility problems, i wanted to know if there are other ways of fixing this issue and other problems related to different browsers such as IE, Safari, chrom, and more, please let me know by posting a reply message, thanks.

It’s not a problem with IE’s compatibility (the same issue occurs in Safari and Chrome), so no, don’t create a separate CSS page for IE. Fix the code, not the browser: you need to add the wmode parameter to your Flash object (and the embed) and set it to “transparent”.

Hello,
Thank you for providing the code, i have added the transparent to the code which fixed the navigation issue however the flash gallery is flashing and blinking so can you let me know how i can fix the gallery from flashing, thank you.
